How to: Anchor and Dock Child Controls in a TableLayoutPanel Control
The TableLayoutPanel control supports the Anchor and Dock properties in its child controls.
To align a child control in a TableLayoutPanel cell
Create a TableLayoutPanel control on your form.
Set the value of the TableLayoutPanel control's ColumnCount and RowCount properties to 1.
Create a Button control in the TableLayoutPanel control. The Button occupies the upper-left corner of the cell.
Change the value of the Button control's Anchor property to Left. The Button control moves to align with the left border of the cell.
Change the value of the Button control's Anchor property to Top, Left. The Button control moves to occupy the top-left corner of the cell.
Repeat step 5 with a value of Top, Right to move the Button control to the top-right corner of the cell. Repeat with values of Bottom, Left and Bottom, Right.
To stretch a child control in a TableLayoutPanel cell
Change the value of the Button control's Anchor property to Left, Right. The Button control is resized to stretch across the cell.
Note
This behavior differs from the behavior of other container controls. In other container controls, the child control is not resized when the Anchor property is set to Left, Right or Top, Bottom.
Change the value of the Button control's Anchor property to Top, Bottom. The Button control is resized to stretch from the top to the bottom of the cell.
Change the value of the Button control's Anchor property to Top, Bottom, Left, Right. The Button control is resized to fill the cell.
Change the value of the Button control's Anchor property to None. The Button control is resized and centered in the cell.
Change the value of the Button control's Dock property to Left. The Button control moves to align with the left border of the cell. The Button control retains its width, but its height is resized to fill the cell vertically.
Note
This is the same behavior that occurs in other container controls.
Change the value of the Button control's Dock property to Fill. The Button control is resized to fill the cell.
Example
The following illustration shows five buttons anchored in five separate TableLayoutPanel cells.
.gif "TableLayoutPanel Anchoring")
The following illustration shows four buttons anchored in the corners of four separate TableLayoutPanel cells.

The following illustration shows three buttons stretched by anchoring in three separate TableLayoutPanel cells.

The following code example demonstrates all the combinations of Anchor property values for a Button control in a TableLayoutPanel control.
